Israeli-Greek Ties Fuel Arms Race
The deal includes the development of an advanced Greek air defense system called "Achilles Shield," developed by Israel for Greece at a cost of nearly three billion euros. This system enhances Greece's military capabilities and reflects a shift in the relationship between Israel and Athens from gradual cooperation to an increasingly geostrategic partnership, although it does not directly target Turkey. The system combines multiple defense networks and advanced technologies, with technical challenges related to integration within NATO. It comes within the context of regional rivalry with Turkey and raises the possibility of an arms race scenario in the Eastern Mediterranean.
